Across the globe, women are playing the roles of mediator, negotiator, and peacebuilder, but their contributions and voices are not always recognized by those in power. To achieve sustainable peace and security, communities and countries have to meaningfully engage women at all levels of decision-making on issues of peace and security. PartnersGlobal is committed to this goal. We work with national and local governments, civil society, women’s organizations, and women leaders to ensure women’s voices and experiences are integrated into all aspects of conflict prevention and resolution.
